And there's nothing wrong with that, I say. Look at the Legacy of Kain franchise - it's has a mostly excellent plot and setting, but abounds in rather large plot holes. Yet, no one's complaining, because everyone's having too much of a blast coming up with crazy theories to fit everything together

I love the way this picture looks. From what I've seen, games that have awesome concept art almost always look great and are usually great games too. I really love the concept art I've seen so far and have great expectations for this game. I know some people are worried about the cover system and the devs trying to up the speed of the game. I really think that the first two games were great but that the combat was pretty slow. If I choose to play a combat juggernaut I want to be slaying a crap load of guys; not just the handful usually encountered in the first two games. I also like to go the stealth route and hope there are a lot of enemies to slip past. Avoiding ten guys all at once is more gratifying that simply avoiding one or two at a time. It also makes the stealth experience more tense because if you foul up you have to deal with a serious threat instead of just easily waxing a couple of guys.
